I have a couple of Hubs that I would like to make better if possible, thank you for any constructive criticism.
This one took off after a while and I can find it in the second place, third place under many keywords, what do you think I should do to make t to first place, or is it at its peak?

Thank you
Hi Ruben,
I think your hubs look great. Your picked a specific niche, and will probably get many readers interested in that niche, but maybe not from the general public. That may explain the traffic. Have you done any keyword research to find out how much traffic you could expect if your hubs landed in first place?
Ruben - you're badly lacking tags and appropriate headers.
Some tags:
Us marine corps boot camp
Us marine corps ranks
Us marine corps history
Us navy
Young marines
Marines for life
Us marine corps uniform
Us navy seal
Marine corps emblem
Marine corps logo
United states marines
Marine corps
United states military
Marine corps institute
Marine corps orders
Marine corps league
Marine corps association
Marine corps jobs
Commandant of the marine corps
Marine corps university
Marine corp
Marine corps cadence
Any of the above could be used (appropriately) as tags, one or two could be used as headers. You have the content, you have the interest of your readers. Just lacks some on-page SEO.
I looked at your marine corps one by the way - I'm assuming the other could do with the same polish.
A few tweaks, add a little more content (not that you need it, just to freshen it up, say 10% ish) and see what happens. A few backlinks won't hurt it either. You've picked a good topic, I'm sure there's plenty of miltary related sites that you could approach
Noooo lol I was only doing what you did - trying to help and be constructive! Your advice was just as valid, I just elaborated on what you'd already written
